About Cazanat 40Mg Tab 30'S

Cazanat 40Mg Tab 30'S is an anti-cancer medicine used in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma. It is a disease in which cancer cells grow uncontrollably in the kidney and form a tumor. Cazanat 40Mg Tab 30'S is used in treating advanced renal cell carcinoma as first-line therapy for advanced renal cell carcinoma in combination with nivolumab and hepatocellular carcinoma in patients who have previously been treated with sorafenib.

Cazanat 40Mg Tab 30'S contains Cabozantinib as an active ingredient, which belongs to the class of medicines known as kinase inhibitors. It works by inhibiting the action of an enzyme (tyrosine kinase) and thus stops the abnormal growth of cancer cells.

Cazanat 40Mg Tab 30'S may cause certain side effects such as diarrhea, decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, increased blood pressure, muscle cramps, decreased weight, dizziness, and constipation. Inform your doctor if any of these side effects bother you. Cazanat 40Mg Tab 30'S should be taken as advised by your doctor.

Medicinal Benefits

Disease/Condition Glossary

Renal Cell Carcinoma: Also known as kidney cancer. It is the most common type of cancer seen in adults. This condition occurs when cancer/ malignant cells grow uncontrollably in the kidney and form a tumor. Advanced kidney cancer (metastatic renal cell carcinoma) occurs when the malignant cells spread to other parts of the body. Symptoms include red, orange, or pink-coloured urine due to the presence of blood in the urine.

Hepatocellular carcinoma: Also known as liver cancer. It occurs when the cancer/ malignant cells grow out of control. This infects the liver, destroys the liver cells and affects the ability of the liver to work properly. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, loss of appetite, weight loss, and pale bowel motions.
